RE: [mssms] windows 10 OS Build Licence question

[Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife]

Why do you say that MAK keys make things more difficult?  We just bake them 
into the installs, and everything just works.

Why would you not want to use a KMS? MAK keys make everything more difficult. 
Settings up a KMS is drop-dead easy and requires no additional infrastructure 
as most folks use existing DCs, DNS servers, or other existing infrastructure 
systems. Not using a KMS makes no sense honestly in almost all scenarios.

Yes, that’ll do it.  Usually when you get a MAK key it will tell you how many 
activations you have.  You may have to keep an eye on it in case you run over 
that number.

thanks for the information

 if i don't want to setup a KMS server, If my sales people provide the MAK 
Key(from Microsoft they will get it i hope)..

in below Task sequence step at "Applying windows Settings" do i need to 
provide.. .. So this 1 single MAK will get activated to all my machines (yes 
based my company purchased license count )  or  any other things do i need to 
do if i don't want to go for KMS?

If you do not have a volume license, or do not feel like setting up a KMS 
server, you will need MAK key.  With that you can either manually put in the 
MAK key or use it during a task sequence deployment, if you are using SCCM or 
MDT for deployment, you can populate the key field and it will install the key 
during deployment.

Yes.  Windows ones are backwards compatible for many OS's but I believe
Office is not.

RE: [mssms] windows 10 OS Build Licence question

[Jason Sandys]

Why would you not want to use a KMS? MAK keys make everything more difficult. 
Settings up a KMS is drop-dead easy and requires no additional infrastructure 
as most folks use existing DCs, DNS servers, or other existing infrastructure 
systems. Not using a KMS makes no sense honestly in almost all scenarios.

Yes, that’ll do it.  Usually when you get a MAK key it will tell you how many 
activations you have.  You may have to keep an eye on it in case you run over 
that number.

RE: [mssms] windows 10 OS Build Licence question

[Marable, Mike]

Yes, if you use a MAK key then that is where you can set it during the build.

RE: [mssms] windows 10 OS Build Licence question

[Kent, Mark]

If you have a volume version it will prefer to get a license from a KMS server 
that you will have to setup in our environment.  Once you have the KMS server 
setup, there is nothing you need to do.  The OS will seek out a KMS server for 
activation and when found, will do everything automagically.

If you do not have a volume license, or do not feel like setting up a KMS 
server, you will need MAK key.  With that you can either manually put in the 
MAK key or use it during a task sequence deployment, if you are using SCCM or 
MDT for deployment, you can populate the key field and it will install the key 
during deployment.
